Peace which Transcends all Understanding

Peace Which Transcends all Understanding

Is your heart pounding with anxiety and horrible noises invading your thoughts? Do you need the peace that is beyond your understanding? I know I do.

To be honest, today I felt incredibly anxious. I felt as if someone was using me like a drum to create negative noise in my head. My heart was pounding as if I ran a marathon in record-breaking time (yes, that will need a miracle). I had to pray for peace as my life depended on it before the drums tore my heart into a million pieces. God came through for me (as always) my heartbeat slowed down and I was able to empty the trash in my head and fill it with peaceful thoughts that only God can provide. Did the situation go away? No, it did not. But God filled my thoughts with hope, and strength to deal with the situation at hand.

If you’re experiencing anxiety, doubt, fear, or any other feeling not aligning with God’s word, ask Him to rescue your thoughts, give Him your feelings and wait for His peace to guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7).

Prayer:

Father, when fear or anxiety reminds me how dangerous the world is for me or my family, help me to leave the tormenting thoughts and distractions at Your feet. I trust you will give me peace, strength and will guard my thoughts and heart. I ask You through Jesus Christ. Amen!
